Thanks Miktis!

Yeah, that describes it very well, like that feeling of they are trying to "ditch" me, and I'm just tagging along.

Also, when we walk, they walk a distance ahead so I can't hear what they're saying. They only share the stories they tell among themselves, I can sense I'm not supposed to hear. I can tell it's not me they are talking about, but still, they choose to exclude me.

I'm so sorry you experience similar stuff too. I wish it could be different for us. I will never understand why they do it either.

You know what's the saddest thing about it all? We KNOW and SENSE this stuff, and they think we don't! Sometimes I feel like people think I'm retarded or something, just because I'm not spontaneously social and "there" in the conversation.
